My latest blog post: Next Trains
https://mikecoats.com/next-trains/
My two-year-old loves trains so any time we can swing past the station and see them is worth the detour. This web app displays the next few arrivals and departures to help us schedule a visit. It's also my first time publishing code as a package on PyPI.
Reposting my #introduction, since I'm seeing a lot of fresh faces recently. I'm an associate professor at UMass Amherst, where I teach about #journalism and #MediaIndustries. My research focuses on media distribution and, occasionally, dysfunction in the adtech industry.
I also co-edit a book series on the civic impacts of media distribution for The MIT Press. Feel free to hit me up if you're working on a relevant project!

We could all do with more music from independent artists in our lives, so I wrote about how I'm trying to help with that, in my own small way. #Fediverse #TheIndieBeat #Bandwagon #Linux
What command do you prefer for switching to root?
Edit: I realize now that I forgot a looot of options. So many ways to switch to a root shell. If only I could add more options to a mastodon poll in an edit...
Options: (choose one)

#introduction après quelque temps sur mastodon :
- intéressé (assez pour y passer trop de temps) par les outils informatiques du monde #libre en commençant par #linux (#MXlinux user here) mais aussi #android et #foss
- réfléchit aux outils libres... qui libèrent ! notamment autour de la #décentralisation et du #smallweb #smolweb
- kiffe la musique du #Mali
- de manière très originale aime la #nature, les #arbres, et développe ses compétences en #permaculture
- un peu de #photographie de rue

Hey, I'm looking for resources to get better at Linux administration - preferably servers... I have basic knowledge - even if I use Linux almost every day.
Do you have book / website / video recomendations?
Thanks for the help.
Since Debian Linux has recently left X, you can follow it on Mastodon:

Today I released my next audio effect plugin: Pult EQ - a Pultec style tube EQ.
Pult EQ is made for adding mojo and sound coloration. You can eq and saturate your sound and do the “Pultec trick”. The EQ features stereo and mid/side processing and the saturation comes with gain compensation and up to 16 times oversampling.
Pult EQ is a free and open source VST3 plugin (64bit) for Linux and Windows.
Download: https://github.com/consint/Pult-EQ

Europe doesn't trust the US government or its tech powers, so its countries are looking elsewhere.
Is everything terrible again? Let's focus on something completely different. Do you write amazing, perfect code on Linux or the BSDs? Well stop reading and get out. For the rest of us, how do we secure our systems? I've put together a survey on Source Code Sandboxing, https://kristaps.bsd.lv/devsecflops, which surveys the practical complexity and uptake of sandbox tools like seccomp, landlock, pledge, and capsicum.
If you've ever interfaced any of the tools I've mentioned, or want to mention another, head on over to https://github.com/kristapsdz/dev_sec_flops and make a pull request.
Enjoy! #Linux #openbsd #freebsd #programming
I keep suggesting to try #Linux via live CDs before switching, so you can find out whether it works for you. But I just realize that you can also run it one a VM.
So, install VirtualBox and install it there. It will also allow you to make sure you can install it yourself.
Just remember, just like live CD, it's not the same experience as when you're running it natively.
Finally tried #NetBSD 10.1 RELEASE baremetal on my #ThinkPad #T470s. Good news is most things seem to work out of box: WiFi, touchpad, i915 drived video card. Bad news is, suspend/wakeup (S3) not working. It appears suspend worked well since after issuing sysctl -w hw.acpi.sleep.state=3 the laptop went to sleep with blinking power led, fan stops. However, at wakeup keyboard just stops responding, even swtiching tty with Ctrl-Alt-Fn keys. WiFi usually wakes up just fine since I gain ssh session back shortly after wakeups. I will conclude a major issue for a system if suspend/wakeup won't work for a laptop. I simply cannot imagine having to poweroff a laptop every day before going to bed. It is kinda a sueprise to me since I assume ThinkPad laptops usually get along well with #BSD and #Linux systems.
FYI, S3 suspend/wakeup works flawlessly with #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD on this laptop without any hack.

I have been using #Firefox also exclusively on all my laptops and lab computers both on #Linux and #Windows. Only make sense I would also use it or its derivatives on my #Android phones too. Yes I am. I use #IceRaven and #Fennec on my phone, both come with browser extension support and are still receiving updates now and then. However still, one small issue bugs me. Although sync work for both browsers after I login my #Mozilla account, meaning I can see all tabs and history and all across devices, sending a tab from one device to another barely works. I remember with my last phone it worked most of time, more then half I suppose, but with the phone I am using now, it never worked for both browsers. I might have to give vanilla firefox a try though, before I am sure.
